AT a MEETING of REFORMERS, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, Westminster, on the 20th May, 1836. JOSEPH HU3IE, Esq ; M.P., in the Chair. Resolved Ist. That this Meeting taking into consideration the services of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., as the able,_ persevering, and intrepid advocate of the rights of Ireland, and the steady sup porter of Reform in Great Britain, is of opinion, that the time has arrived when the British people should come forward to support him against the unexampled persecution which he has suf fered from the enemies of good Government; and that immediate measures should be adopted to raise a fund to defray the political expenses to which Mr. O'Cpnnell has been subjected, and to mark the respect and gratitude of the people of this country for his services. . . . 2d. That a Public Meeting be called to carry into effect the foregoing resolution, and that the Reformers in every part of the British Empire be invited to co-operate and communicate with the Chairman or the Secretary of this Meeting, in promoting these most desirable objects. 3d.

The reputation of the Blaenavon Iron, and the well-known success of these Works, during a period of forty years, sustain for this undertaking the character of a legitimate and lucrative investment. The property, containing about 12,000 acres leasehold, and 450 acres freehold, comprises one of the largest and most productive Mineral Estates in South Wales. There are five furnaces, with all their subordinate works and buildings, 470 workncen's houses, and a forge and mill. Of the Leasehold Estate about one-fourth is underlct to two neighbouring Iron Works, on lease, at a rental which, with the rents received for houses and the surface lands of the remaining portion, leaves the Blaenavon Propel ty, purchased on behalf of the Company, free of rent and royalty. The Furnaces are producing after the rate of 18,000 tons of pig iron per annum, and the Forge " turns out" 100 tons per week of the best bar and cable iron. There is also a profitable coal and lime trade, unconnected with the market for iron. An investigation of the books, showing the profits of the concern during a period of extreme depression and difficulty, and a calcula tion based upon the prices of iron for fifteen years (since 1821), justify a confident expectation of annual dividends of 10 per cent., without reference in such calculation to the continuance of the pre sent large profits. Should, however, the prosperity of the iron trade continue, a much larger dividend will be realised. Ten pounds per share will be required at the time of appropria tion, and the remainder according to the decision of the Directors ; but it is not intended that above 401. per share shall be called for. The Shareholders will be entitled to the profits from Midsummer next, and a dividend declared at Christmas, 1836. Applications for shares (post paid) may be made in writing to James Ashwell, Esq., at the temporary office of the Company, No. 4, Adam's court, Old Broad-street, where prospectuses, with additional information, may be obtained.: THE PRESS IN TURKEY. (From Dr. Walsh's Constantinople.) On Saturday, the sth of November, 1831, this pheno menon, called Tria4vinti lreekai, or the " Tablet of Events," first appeared in the Turkish capital, and has ever since been regularly published. In order to give it more exten sive circulation, every Pasha in the empire is obliged to sub scribe for a certain number of copies, for the information of the people of his Pashalik, among whom they are distri buted. It is printed on two folio sheets, in Turkish and in French ;—the latter is called the A'loniteur Oriental. The one is read by the natives and rayas, and the other by the Frank. It is issued with great exactness ; and every Sa turday 'morning it is sent up with our breakfast as regu larly as a weekly paper in London. The Sultan takes great interest in it, reads it regularly, and is himself a contributor to it, writing sometimes the leading article. The contents of the paper are usually as follow :—They commence with Constantinople and the concerns of the Turkish empire. The principal details are those of the army and navy, their movements and the change of officers, with bulletins of action by land or sea, fairly given, with out much pompous Orientalism. Then follow civil affairs, events of the provinces, with always a favourable view of things, and an eulogium on the Sultan's measures for the good of the. people. Then succeed news of other countries, w:th sometimes extracts from the debates of the French chamber of Deputies and the English Parliament, in which latter Mr. O'Connell cuts a conspicuous figure. One could hardly imagine that violent democratic language would be permitted in a Turkish paper ; as yet, however, it is harmless, for the people do not understand it. But the most extraordinary communication is a kind of budget, in which the receipts of public money are given, and the ex penditure accounted for, with an accuracy of detail in piasters and paras that would please Mr. Hume. This is a thing before unheard of in Turkish policy ; where public money was a mystery, and every thing concerning it kept secret, both in'its collection and expenditure. These sub jects are varied with accounts of useful inventions, elemen tary sketches of the arts and sciences, and sometimes pleas a• in and instructive stories. ' The Turks, when this newspaper first appeared, had no conception of any amusement to be derived from such a thing; but, like children, when their curiosity was once ex cited, it knew no bounds. The publication of the news of the empire soon became of universal attraction. The pa per made its way to the coffee-houses, and the same Turk that I had noticed before dozing, half stupified with coffee and tobacco, I now saw actually awake with the paper in his hand eagerly spelling out the news. But the usual mode of communicating it are news-rooms ; and a place is taken where those who wish to hear it assemble. A stool is placed in the centre, on which the man who can read sits, and others form a circle round him and listen. The atten- tion paid is very different from that which I saw them give to a storyteller. There was no mirth or laughter excited, but all seemed to listen with profound attention, interrupted only sometimes by a grave ejaculation of " Inshallab," or " Allah Karim." The fiat thing a Turk of any conse quence is anxious to know is, whether he has been men tioned, and what has been said of him ; and in this he shows a sensitiveness even superior to a Londoner or a Parisian, because, as the Sultan is the virtual editor, his opinion of a man is of some importance. Mr. Bunn, the lessee, is the author of the successful opera at Drury-lane, called the Maid of Artois. The Rev. Mr. Sherman, of Reading, has been ap pointed to the pastoral charge of Surrey Chapel, Blackfriars road, vacant by the death of the celebrated Rev. Rowland Hill. This fact was officially communicated to the deceased gentle man's congregation on Sunday. The'Crreenwich Railway Company on Sunday, for the 'first time, commenced running their trains from Deptford to Bermondsey, on the Sabbath, but abstained doing so dur ing the hours of Divine Service. Being a fine moonlight' evening, the trains were in operation till ten o'clock. We understand that the Directors intend on all occasions to pre vent their men being employed during Divine Service on Sun days, as they have engaged two pews at St. James's Church, Bermondsey, expressly for their accommodation, and have in timated their wishes, that those who are in their employ should be constant in their attendance at church. A gentleman left Manchester in the morning, went to Liverpool, thirty miles off, purchased and took back with him to Manchester, on the railroad, 150 tons of cotton. This he immediately disposed and the article being liked, au offer was made to take another such quantity. Off he starts again, and actually that evening delivered the second 150 tons, having travelled one hundred and twenty miles in four jour neys, and bought, sold, and delivered, thirty miles off, at two distinct and consecutive deliveries, 300 tons of goods in twelve hours I MEETING OF BARONETS.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of baronets and their eldest sons took place at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, to petition the King that be would be pleased by his Royal warrant to grant them permis sion to wear the badge which was conferred on their ancestors by the royal founder of their honours. Sir Roger Greisley, Bart., M.P., was unanimously called on to preside. Mr. Brown, the honorary secretary, reported the receipt of letters from upwards of 180 non-resident baronets, cordially approv ing of the objects of the meeting. Various communications having been read, and a report of the Committee of the pro ceedings instituted for the revival of the ancient rights and privileges of the order having been approved, the honourable secretary then read the draft of a petition to his Majesty, which, after some discussion, was adopted. A deputation of four baronets, accompanied by the secretary, was appointed to ' take his Majesty's pleasure as to the time when his Majesty would be graciously pleased to receive the petition and address, preparatory to another general meeting of the order being held to appoint the deputation t, c y Sa.IIC to the loot of the throne. The usual vote of Oianks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

It is said that the Infante has made up his mind to accept one at Modena, which has been offered by the Duke. I h a d the following anecdote of the Portuguese Pre tender from an eyewitness. Don Miguel one day desired to be conducted to the falls of the Arno, at Tivoli, but, quarrel ling with his cicerone, he forgot himself so far as to make use of his horsewhip on his guide. Some French artists, who happened to be present, were so offended by this disgraceful and unjust conduct, that they expreFscd their sentimeras in no measured terms ; but they were stopped by the cicerone, who said, Never mind him, gentleinen, he is a madman.' " Thursday, at eleVen o'clock, his Grace the Commissioner held a levee in the Throne room at Holyrood Palace, which was very numerously attended. The guard of ho nour in front of the Palace was formed by the 79th High landers ; a number of the police, habited in the garb of the ancient }eornen of the guard, were stationed on the grand stair-case, every thing being conducted in strict accordance with Court etiquette. After the levee; his Grace entered the state carriage, and prodeeded by the Calton-hill to the High Church, the fol lowing being the order of the procession : Detachment of the 9th Lancers. aiy Police in their Uniforms. Scottish Yeomen of the Guard. Magistrates and Town Council, in carriages. King's Trumpeters. Carriage — Mace-bearer, &c. Carriage—The . Lord High Commissioner accompanied by • his Chaplain and Almoner. His Grace wore a military court dress, and appeared to be in good health. The 9th Lancers, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Loughborough, with the fine band of the regiment, lined the High -street from St. Giles's Cathedral to North Bridge-street, clown which to Waterloo•place the line was kept by the 76th and 79th depots. The day being re markably fine, the concourse of spectators was more nume rous than we have witnessed for some years. The church was, as usual on these occasions, crowded. The Rev. Dr. Thomson of Perth, the Moderator, preach ed an appropriate discourse from Hebrews xiii. B.—" Je sus Christ, the same yesterday, and to-day, and for eVey„.7 After Divine service, his Grace the Commissioner pro ceeded to the Tron Church, where the._General Assembly met and was constituted by prayer. The Assembly then proceeded to the election of a Mo derator, and on the motion of Dr. Thomson of Perth, the late Moderator, seconded by Principal Macfarlane of Glas gow, unanimously appointed Dr. M'Leod, one of the mi nisters of Glasgow, to that important office. The new Moderator having taken the Chair, His Grace the COMMISSIONER addressed the Assembly in a short speech, in which he assured them of his Majesty's anxious and ardent desire to maintain the Presbyterian Church as by law established, and relied on their assistance in the promotion of that important object, hoping that in all their deliberations they would observe that calm mode ration, that temperate forbearance, which could alone lead to wise and salutary conclusions, and which were essential to the dearest interests of our National Church. His Grace added, that his Majesty had commanded him to ac quaint the Assembly that suitable and permanent accom modation would be provided for the meetings of this Vene rable Court, and he was also entrusted with the Royal Warrant for 2,000/. for promoting instruction in the High lands and Islands. His Grace concluded by assuring the Assembly of his readiness to do every thing in his power for the comfort and convenience of the Assembly. The Moderator congratulated the Lord High Commis- sioner on his re-appointment. Met as they were under the sanction of the law, they felt grateful for this mark of the Royal favour. In name of the Assembly he begged his Grace to communicate to his Majesty their thanks for the expression of his unalterable resolution to maintain the Church. The communication that suitable accommodation would be provided for the meetings of Assembly must have afforded delight to all the members present. They were satisfied that his Majesty was most anxious to meet their wishes, and he trusted the Church of Scotland would always find in him a friend and protector. The munificent grant for the purposes of religious education in the Highlands had done immense good in times pest, and caused the lights of the Gospel to shine on the most elevated mountain, the most: lowly glen ; and the experience they had had of the, great good it had done would secure their cautious applica tion of the sum now placed at their disposal. The Mode rator then returned thanks for his Grace's offer of attending to their comforts, and added that the Assembly on their part would make their arrangements suitable to his Grace's convenience. Dr. Brunton, as Convener of the Committee for procur ing accommodation for the Assembly, said it was usual for that Committee to report their progress in the object of their appointment, but that had been rendered unnecessary by his Grace's communication. On the motion of Principal Macfarlane the Committee was re-appointed to receive any communications from his Grace the Commissioner. _ On the motion of the Procurator a Committee consisting of nine members was appointed, to which all disputed Commissions are to be remitted and finally disposed of; to this Committee the parties are each to have the power of nominating one, who must be members of Court.—After some routine business the Assemb!y adjourned. FRIDAY, MAY 20. At the forenoon sederunt of the Assembly the following ministers were appointed to preach before his Grace the Commissioner :—Sunday forenoon, Mr. N. Paterson of St. Andrew's, Glasgow ; afternoon, Mr. Goldie of Cold stream. On the forenoon of Sunday week, Mr. Paton of Straiton ; afternoon, Mr. M‘Naughton of Kilbride, in the island of Arran. The remainder of the sederunt was oc cupied in devotional exercises, after which the Assembly adjourned till three o'clock. In the afternoon sederunt the answer to the King's letter was read and agreed to, and his Grace the Commissioner was requested to transmit the same to his Majesty. The Assembly then proceeded to appoint committees till five o'clOck, when they adjourned till next day at twelve. SATURDAY, MAY 21. ORDER OF BUSINESS.—Me following order of business wits agreed to.

The Assembly then proceeded to take up the conside ration of THE ESKDALEMUIit CASE. This case came before the Assembly in the form of a petition and complaint from the parishioners of the parish of Eskdalemuir, and heads of families of the said parish in communion with the church, praying for redress against cert ;in irregularities and unjust proceedings on the part of the Presbytery of Langholm and Synod of Dumfries, in . regard to the call and settlement of the Rev. A. Cunning ham, presented to the vacant parish of Eskdalemuir. It , also came before the House in the form of an appeal from the Synod of Dumfries. There was, moreover, a second and supplementary petition and complant against the in duction of the presentee. Mr. PENNEY appeared at the bar on the behalf of the dissentients ; and, in answer to a question - from Dr. Cook, stated that he wished merely to be heard as to his right to ask from the Assembly a warrant of intimation to the Sy , nod of Dumfries, who bad made no appearance at the bar. He should avoid entering into the merits of the case at present. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state, that there being a vacancy in the parish of Eskdalemuir by the death of the Rev. Dr. Brown, the Rev. Mr. A. Cun ningham was presented to that parish. At the meeting of Presbytery for moderating a call on the 22d December last, dissents were tendered and taken down by twenty-nine persons whose names stood on the roll as ratified and ap proved of by the Presbytery at their meeting on the Ist December preceding, these twenty-nine persons being a ma jority of the communicants on the roll, which contained only fifty-five names. in all. The Presbytery, however, in the face of their own roll, and without stating a single objec- - tion to any of the dissentients, found that there was not a majority on the roll of persons diKenting, and resolved to proceed forthwith to the settlement. The dissentients protested at the time, and lodged their reasons of appeal to the Synod with the Clerk of Presbytery within ten days. At the next meeting of Presbytery, on the sth of January, they (the Presbytery) refused to give the dissentient's ex tracts, or to receive reasons of appeal—holding the sentence of the Presbytery to be final, and not liable to be brought under the review of any other Court. Against that reso lution his (Mr. P.'s) clients took a protest and appealed to the Synod. It accordingly came before the Synod on the 19th of April. The committee of bills refused to trans mit the documents which the dissentients had laid be fore them. First, the roll of communicants, which they said was never before the Presbytery—a very curious saying indeed, since it was the very roll which bad been made up and ratified by the Presbytery themselves ; and second, the petition against the Presbytery refusing extracts. These were the two documents which the com mittee of bills refused to transmit. And what was the objection ? .Why, the cuckoo one, that that document had never been before. the Presbytery. The petition, being against themselves, certainly never had, because it Was meant not for them but for the Synod. Against this de cision of the Committee of Bills, Mr. Baird, agent for the on the subject before co. u. ;eision of the Committee. iinst that affirmation Mr. Baird protested, and appealed he Assembly. After Mr. Baird had been -heard seve times on the subject, he was asked where was his man .? He produced it, and the Synod found that it was insufficient mandate. The ground upon which they le to this decision was, that by a most tuiseeable slip of ae pen, December, 1836, had been written instead of De cember, 1835. This was held as sufficient ter iuvalidate the mandate. But he (Mr. P.) would contend that it was not absolutely necessary that the mandate should have a date at all. If it gave ample power to act for the parties, which it did, then it was a good and sufficient mandate. Here Mr. P. read the mandate, and contended that he was entitled, in the peculiar circumstances ofthe case, to ask their opinion, whether it was good or sufficient—an inferior Court. not hiving the power to pronounce a judgment which could not be reversed. The consequence of rejecting the man date was, that they refused to receive Mr. Baird's appeal, or hear him at all on the merits of the question at issue. The learned gentleman then proceeded to say that the dis sentients had taken all the competent means in their power to bring the ease before the General Assembly, and had served the clerk of the Synod of Dumfries with reasons of appeal, but he had also refused to receive them. But since then other proceedings occurred of a very unusual nature — proceedings which he would venture to say had never before occurred in the history of the Church of Scotland. It was those proceedings which had given rise to the second and supplementary petition. In the face of that appeal, and the petition and complaint against their former proceedings, the Presbytery of Laiigholm had, on the 12th May last, within seven days of the sitting of the Assembly, actually completed the settlement. The dissentients, one way or other, either with or without a warrant of intimation, must, he contended, have redress from the General Assembly, otherwise there would in this case, and in many other cases, be committed a most grievous wrong without any remedy. Mr. PENNEY, in answer to a question from Mr. Whig ham, Advocate, said that there was no notarial instrument taken by Mr. Baird at the meeting of the Synod of 19th April, but he could produce ample proof of his averment that the protest and appeal was refused by the Synod. He would prove it by the recollection of at least one most re spectable member of the Synod. Dr. COOK readily acknowledged, with respect to the Synod, having refused to receive the appeal, that the case was a very bard one, because it was - nt all times desirable, if possible, that parties should some way or other have it in their power to state the merits of their ease. But there were forms of procedure connected with every Court which must invariably' be observed. Though these forms might sometimes entail hardships on individuals, yet if they were all set aside, they would just sacrifice to partial evil the ge neral good of the whole comMunity. Th6ugh he had doubts with respect to the deliverance of the Assembly on the first petition, he had no doubts regarding the second. There was a clear distinction between thse two cases—a dis tinction of great importance, and which ought to be im pressed on the minds of the General Assembly. It ap peared to him that an agent should be a person pro perly authorized by a document specifying—not merely what he was to do—but bearing that it was issued at the proper time. The date of the mandate in ques tion, was December, 1836. It, therefore, could not be; in his humble opinion, a document authorising a person to appear from any party in May 1836. The Synod took that view, and found that there was no'appearance accord ingly. Whether they were right in this finding was not be fore the Assembly at present. It followed from this find ing that the Synod could net receive the appeal from that agent. There was, therefore, no appeal before the Assem bly, according to the law of the Church : and, if they now allowed their regular procedure to:be set aside, they might just as well, by one sweeping stroke, cancel all the forms of the Church, and leave every' case to be decided on its own peculiar merits. But, with respect to the second complaint, which was.a complaint against the proceedings of the Presbytary for the induction of the presentee, Mr. Cunningham, he contended that the sentence of the Synod was law to the Presbytery—was the only rule by which they could have been guided ; and, therefore, the Presbytery could do nothing else than proceed with the induction of Mr. Cunningham. Whatever, then, the Assembly might determine with regard to the Synod, the petition, in regard to the Presbytery, must fall to the ground . He had no motion on the subject, but such were his feelings. The Rev. Mr. M'KENZIE, of Comric, said, it was easy for the Assembly, sitting in the plenitude of their power to wrap themselves up in the cloak of formality, and insist upon a strict adherence to the established order of proce dure ; but they ought to remember that though they were a supreme Coiart, they were under the controul of a still higher Court, where all formality was set aside, and every case displayed in its own naked merits ; that they might be insisting on the mint, anise, and cummin, while they wer,e noglecting the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and truth. He contended that when such grave charges had been advanced against one .of the Snods of Church, it was absolutely incumbent::on them to make some inquiry into the foundation. Lord MoNcttnirF said, he was strongly inclined .to think that the first petition should be served on the Synod. It was very disagreeable to one accustomed to the usual forms of justice to.have to make up his mind on the statement of . one of the parties merely. He .should like to see both sides of the question. After some little farther discussion, it was unanimously agreed, on the motion of Lord Moncreiff, that the first petition be served on the Synod of Dumfries, through their Moderator and Clerk, and on all other parties that the complainers might think neccattry, and grant a warrant ac cordingly to order all parties to appear at the bar on Friday next. The Assembly adjourned about four o'clock till Monday at eleven o'clock forenoon. MONDAY, MAY 23. In addition to the order of business arranged on Satur day the Assembly agreed to take up the Report of the Committee on India Missions on Wednesday. UNION WITH THE ORIGINAL BURGHER ASSOCIATE SYNOD. Dr. P. MACrARLANE produced the Report of the Committee of last General Assembly, in regard to the proposed re-union of the Associate Synod with this Church. It stated, that with the view of ascer taining the points of difference between each other and coming to an understanding on the subject, the respective Committees had had several meetings and conferences, the result of which was that the majo rity of the Assembly's Committee were of opinion that more information was necessary before they could give in a definitive report. In reporting this fact, they begged to be understood that they did not express any opinion as to the expediency or inexpediency of the re-union, but merely to recommend that the Committee be re-appointed, in order that they might be enabled to make a final report to next Assembly. The Committee expressed themselves unani mously of opinion that the course of education enforced by the Associate Synod, the trials of young men before they were licensed, and of ministers previous to ordination, were quite satisfactory ; that the Associate Synod required every candidate for a license to wive assent to the Westminster Confession of Faith, and ° that every minister was re quired to state before induction whether he still adhered to it. The Committee were, therefore, of opinion, that in the event of a re-union, the status of ministers of the As sociate Synod ought to be at once recognised by the Church of Scotland, and that their congregations should be ad mitted without requiring any specific declaration. The Committee thought it their duty to state that the points of difference were the obligation of covenants and the law of patronage, and concluded by expressing a hope that the negotiation might terminate in the re-union of their as sociated brethren with the Church, on sound constitutional principles. The Rev. Doctor said the Assembly would per ceive from this Report that their Committee had not been inactive, but had made considerable progress towards a termination, whatever that termination might be. The points on which they agreed were of the most essen tial importance, especially those regarding the course of study and trials. With regard to the points of diffe rence, the opinion of the Associate Synod had been fully expressed in a letter already before the Assembly. On the subject of Patronage he might say that, but for the recent law of the Assembly, the Associate Synod never would have thought of a re-union with the Church of Scotland, and so long as these laws exist, they reserve the right of expressing their sentiments fully on that subject. The Rev. Doctor hoped these difficulties would be overcome, and a re-union take place with the Church of Scotland of a body of men highly respectable in point of Christian character, who would form a great acquisition to the Church. In ex pressing these sentiments, he expressed those also of a wor thy deceased friend, Sir Henry Moncrieff, in his " Life of Dr. Erskine." Mr. THOMSON, of Dundee, moved that the Assembly re-appoint the Committee, in order to the accomplish ment clan object which was dear to every member of the Church. After some observations from Dr. Cook, Dr. Thomson, of Perth, and others, the Committee was re-appointed with the addition of Dr. Dickson, Dr. Dewar, Mr. Hunter, Mr. and Mr. Whigham. The Alien Office will be discontinued en and from the Ist of July next. NEW MOVING POWER.—A letter from Frankfort says, a discovery of immense importance has been communi cated to our society for the promotion of the Physical Sciences. The discovery is That of an impulse force, - more powerful than that of gunpowder or of steam. Our men of science arc in raptures, and are preparing their reports, which will be very shortly I.ublishcd. All that we yet know is, that the moving power is a galvanic machine, the action of which, it is said, will equal that of steam, without the expense and without th e danger.- MRS. HOWITT'S NEW WORK.
